在Excel中进行反向MATCH查找

Question

I have two tables.

Data and GroupLookup

Data contains Two fields Text and Group , GroupLookup contains LookupValue and Group

The idea is i wan't to use a formula for Data[Group] to find in Data[@Text] ie a row, a wildcard word from GroupLookup[LookupValue] and get GroupLookup[Group] into Data[Group]

For example i have a text called "Banjo Pizza 1231" in my Data[Text] i want to lookup "pizza" and then apply the GroupLookup[Group] whos value would be "Pizza Expense".

I've tried a formula like

=INDEX(GroupLookup[Group];MATCH("*"&[@Text]&"*";GroupLookup[LookupValue];0))

But it do it the wrong way. It applies the Text to the LookupValue. Eg "BC" in Text would match "ABC" in LookupValue. I want it the otherway around.

Answer 1

Please bear with my ASCII-art table:

      A                      B            C          D               E
   1          **Data**                               **GroupLookup**    
   2 Text                   Group                  LookupValue     Group
   3 Banjo Pizza 123        Pizza Expense          Pizza           Pizza Expense
   4 CrabbyPatty Burger     Burger Expense         Burger          Burger Expense
   5 Fries Work             Fries Expense          Fries           Fries Expense
   6 Softdrinkersss         SoftDrinks Expense     Softdrink       SoftDrinks Expense
   7 Pizzaderia             Pizza Expense           
   8 OverloadedFries        Fries Expense           
   9 Coco Koala Softdrinks  SoftDrinks Expense          

Let's assume that the above data is your DataSheet, (with "A to E" as your column head and "1 to 9" is your row number) You should have a minimal data in the GroupLookup since it is your "Group". In my sample, I had grouped 5 categories in my "GroupLookup": Pizza, Burger, Fries, & Softdrink.

Then I will Lookup those value in my Data[Text] column using the below formula in Data[Group] column.

=IF(IFERROR(MATCH("*"&$E$3&"*",A3,0),"False"),INDEX($E$3:$F$6,1,2),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("*"&$E$4&"*",A3,0),"False"),INDEX($E$3:$F$6,2,2),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("*"&$E$5&"*",A3,0),"False"),INDEX($E$3:$F$6,3,2),IF(IFERROR(MATCH("*"&$E$6&"*",A3,0),"False"),INDEX($E$3:$F$6,4,2)))))

If the word Pizza is present in my Data[text] column, my Data[Group] column will get it's value from GroupLookup[Group] which is "Pizza Expense"; same logic with the other LookupValue.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I found the following formula

=LOOKUP(2^15;SEARCH(Table2[LookupWord];[@Phrase]);Table2[Group])

I apply the formula to the to the Group column column B.
